Which statement lists the key terms you should know for the exam?

• A. 5150, gravely disabled, danger to self, danger to others, designated receiving facility, 5250, least restrictive environment, rights, hearing, discharge planning
• B. 5150
• C. gravely disabled and rights only
• D. 5250 and designated receiving facility only

Answer: (D)

The central idea is understanding the specific terms that anchor the involuntary treatment process. In this sequence, the two terms you must know best are 5250 and designated receiving facility. 5250 refers to the next stage after an initial 5150—the 14-day hold that allows for continued evaluation and treatment. The designated receiving facility is the place where that evaluation and interim care occur during that period. These two terms form the core labels that describe the main steps in the process, making them essential vocabulary for the exam. Other terms like gravely disabled, danger to self, danger to others, rights, hearing, discharge planning, and 5150 describe conditions, protections, or components of the procedure, but they don’t define the key stage and setting as clearly as 5250 and designated receiving facility do. That’s why this option best captures the primary terms you should know.
